The Knight Commander of the Order of the Templars, Brian de Boisguillebert, rides up to the night fire, near which the Saxon feudal lord Cedric of Rotherwood has settled with his retinue and niece Lady Rowena.
Cedric gives him a place near the fire, as well as an approaching pilgrim who has returned from the Holy Land.
The movie features songs originally written and performed by Vladimir Vysotsky for the 1975 Soviet film The Arrows of Robin Hood, but removed from the latter for political reasons.
